Motivation and motor control: hemispheric specialization for approach motivation reverses with handedness.
BACKGROUND: According to decades of research on affective motivation in the human brain, approach motivational states are supported primarily by the left hemisphere and avoidance states by the right hemisphere. The underlying cause of this specialization, however, has remained unknown. Here we condu...
